Is it common for a child in his mid-teens to be spanked?

I was just wondering if it was common for children in their mid-teens to be spanked by their parents. My fiancé recently told me that he and his older brother were both spanked up until they were 15 or 16. I was surprised; I am 19 and haven’t had a spanking for a little over 9 years. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if this is a common thing.
